Gaming monitor 1440p or 1080p?

[NotoriousG]

I'm currently looking to buy myself a gaming monitor but I can't decide whether to go for 1080 or 1440. I will go for a G-sync monitor.

What will I hook up to the monitor:
- PS4 Pro
- Nintendo Switch
- Gaming PC (GTX 1060 / i5 6600K)

Will the image look less sharp when I play 1080 games on a 1440 screen (on my PS4/Switch or some very demanding games on PC)
- Can my GTX 1060 run most games at 60 fps at 1440?

I also want my screen to be future-proof, especially when Nvidia Volta cards become available in the next years.

Any advice?

Current AAA? Nah, not on ultra settings that is...

If you're going to get G-Sync, i'd definitely recommend a 1080p monitor with 144Hz refresh rate. Much better experience IMHO.

1. Looking at GTX1060, 1080p is the best solution unless you are willing to turn down some in-game settings for 1440p to get at 60 fps.
2. 1440p 144Hz 27" with GSync is the better pick, if you can do nr. 1. I did that and do not want to go back again
3. Switch, PS4 and PC into a monitor...hmmm...2 hdmis and 1 DP...be carefull in choosing monitor, pay attention to the inputs...make sure the monitor has enough....or buy a HDMI switch , if necessary.
